Malaysiakini : Non-Malays are frustrated and angry with Prime Minister Anwar
Ibrahim and Pakatan Harapan. Some say they will no longer vote for them
or will not turn out to vote at all.While this is a regrettable situation, their sentiments are understandable. However,
a pause for deeper reflection reveals that your vote still has the
power to influence your future and your family’s future.
Veteran 1972 : "It could have been handled better, but it is not a case of the government issuing a policy for demolishing Hindu temples". - Seriously what are you smoking, is it NOT obvious.
To wipe out temples as was seen with vandalism and illegal rulings. Is NOT the Constitution supreme as laid out in the Rukun Negara? Instead it is being undermined by the supremacists.
Malaysia is not an Islamic country, it has Islam as the official religion, that's it. Which part of the Constitution do NOT they understand?
Jarchin : William Leong, what a pack of nonsense you've written. You think the voters you and your like have deceived are fools? Stop flogging the green wave bogeyman. Anwar and DAP are no better if not worse!
JKT : Anwar had only one job. To support the 80 % who voted him in. Instead he treacherously worked against the very 80% who supported him. The DAP is complicit in Anwar's treachery.
PurpleTuna7435 : All over the globe, people are escaping from islamic regimes which are barbaric. So long as Malaysian leaders are glued on islam, this country will be destroyed!
GrizzledWarrior : Er, William Leong, none of the above explains the 'Victory for Islam', 'Kuil Haram' and 'Bebel' statements made by your boss.
The non-Malays are realistic.
Most are more pissed about the lack of respect, the lack of parity in dealing with racist statements — depending on who the makers are — the bureaucratic encroachment by a less than impartial government into non-Malay rights, than the slow pace of reforms.
Axe your boss and his chief enabler, Loke. Then, possibly, PH might just survive.
Until then, threatening us with a binary — vote PH even if it comes with a less than effective PM, or the green big bad wolf (PN/PAS) will gobble you up — doesn't work anymore.
Right now, PH or PN makes no difference to us.
And PN, judging from their disastrous Kerajaan Gagal stint, would likely not survive a full term even if they form the government post-GE16.
We just keep changing governments via the ballot box until we get it right. And the right government can either be a PH or PN government - whoever governs better and fairly.
On the Other Hand : Anthony Leong on behalf of his Master, attempts to whitewash the Demolition of the Masjid India temple as an inherited problem, but there are serious problems with his logic.
The ones who are harming our social fabric for personal gain are none other than PMX and his bunch of useless sycophants.
That includes you, William Leong. UMNO with 26 seats got everything it wanted.
It could only do that because PMX was more than a willing enabler.
He not only failed to reform, but actually reversed the Reforms that the PH government had achieved in the period it was in power after the 2018 GE, when Anwar was still in prison.
So this is just self-serving nonsense.
Firstly, why did PMX choose not to investigate the dubious circumstances under which the land on which the temple stood had its ownership transferred to Jakel under a previous UMNO Minister, despite loud calls for him to do so? Surely, this should have been the first step in uncovering any malfeasance if any, and the culprits brought to book.
The entire plans for the mosque on top of a temple should have been put on hold, and the matter investigated before any demolition or move out order was issued. PMX refused to do this.
It would seem that PMX actually reveled in the destruction of the temple, to the point that he actually named the new mosque the 'Madani' mosque, to the disgust of non-Muslims witnessing this symbolic act of constructive insolence towards and intolerance of other religions.
He outdid himself when he proclaimed this entire sordid affair as a 'Victory for Islam'.
There is no excuse for leader behaving like a common Islamist bigot, in a multi-racial, multi-religious society, like he did.
How different is this from what William Leong attempts to convince us from bringing into power. Hasn't that already taken the form of PMX?
We don't buy William Leong's whitewash of the Masjid India temple disgraceful and abhorrent behaviour of PMX, as anything other than Muslim oppression of non-Muslims, executed by PMX himself.
HLT : Sir, no reasonable voter will expect PH or PMX to fulfill all the promised reforms within short span of 2-3 years. We only expect PH leaders or PMX to speak up against injustices happened to non Malays voters. What did PMX do when Akmar kept bullying the non Malays?
Where were our PH leaders when the national flag issues were played up by those evil minded people and even the editors of Sin Chew have to b handcuffed n kept in Balai, yet the Malay officers who did the same mistake were spared the rod?
What did our PH leader do when a Hindu temple which have been at one place for 100 years have to be relocated …. All these do not involved reforms, we only want justice, we want PMX and PH to speak up to protect the non Malays from being harassed by people like Akmal the Great !
Knucklehead2 : This article is an insult to voters’ intelligence.
PKR and PMX rode into Putrajaya on the backs of non‑Malay voters in the towns and cities—those who believed in reform, fairness, and a better Malaysia. And what did we get?
Empty promises, compromises, and betrayal.
Now PKR wants us to “reflect” and still vote for them? Spare us the sermon. You failed to deliver the reforms you swore by. You never stood up for the very people who gave you power.
Instead, you bent over backwards for the same old racist narratives and corrupt partners you once condemned.
Taking voters for fools is PKR’s specialty. You think we’ll forget the broken promises, the hypocrisy, the silence when it mattered most? Think again.
Non‑Malays are frustrated and angry because PKR and PMX let them down. That’s the truth. And no amount of sugar‑coated speeches about “Madani values” or “reflection” will erase the fact that you betrayed your base.
GE16 will not be about reflection—it will be about reckoning. PKR, prepare to be buried by the very voters you took for granted.
BTW. Mkini is filled with so many new cybertroopers from PKR! Panic mode!
R.Venugopal : Mr William Leong, people are fed up with rhetoric like semua anak, anak saya but after elections the tone is different. Hindu temples demolished, re-located with use of power and this is not Madani.
The PM ground breaking ceremony was decided before the temple issue is resolved and it looks the hidden hands are more powerful. Humiliating the Hindu religion by Zakir Naik, Vinoth Zamry and Firdaus Wong were given a free passport and the law only concludes NFA and can this same conclusion be applied if someone talks ill of ISLAM.
You are talking about your political survival and never the pains of the voters.
What difference does it make on who wins as we shall survive on our hard work.
DAP has sat in the throne of power, ENJOYED THE PERKS and wants it secured for another term in the coming GE.
Partnering with corrupt politicians from UMNO to stay in power is a crime but you giving all the lame excuses when others come in power things may not be good for NM.
DAP is not bothered what is good for the NM but more important you want to be in carousel of power to fool us again.
